Noa Ní Aoláin Gross is the Illustrator on The Rubicon. This is her first year on staff. During the pandemic, she has turned to cooking and bike-riding while spending excessive amounts of time with her two cats. When missing her friends, she remembers the quote from Winnie the Pooh: "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Noa can be reached at rubicon.spa@gmail.com.
